Tucano memories

[avro748]

Hello Folks

As every UK Military enthusiast will already know, the Shorts Tucano T1 has now been retired from RAF service. I have put together some photos of Tucano in various markings worn over the past thirty years or so. I am sure there are lots of ommisions so please feel free to add your own photos.
























































Cheers

Shaun

The group of five on the Isle of Man in April 1993 was a week long 1 FTS detachment caused by prolonged bad weather in Yorkshire. They continued with their syllabus, flying sorties over Andreas in the north of the Island. This was the last occasion that an RAF unit was based here.

Great response guys. I think between us we have got Tucano schemes covered ......except one!. Does anyone have a shot of the Church Fenton based 7 FTS aircraft that had a Toucan painted on the fin?. I thought i had but cant find it.

Cheers

This thread has made me wonder what is going to happen to the considerable number of stored Tucanos that now must be up for disposal/sale?
